Art of the Mix

Next Thursday, the Usual Suspects (Carlos, Jason, JASON, Debbie, and Brandon – minus Julie) and I are taking our annual trip to Florida.

I’m working on mixed CD’s for the trip.

I’m hoping to finish three of them: 1970’s pop, 1980’s pop, and Current Acoustic.

With heavy influence by Carlos, I’ve finished the first one.

Track Listing:Sara Barielles – Love Song (yea, bad start. Totally not the ‘70’s, but a good song that fits with the rest)Forever in Blue Jeans – Neil DiamondKentucky Woman – Neil DiamondSong Sung Blue – Neil DiamondCopacabana – Barry ManilowI Write The Songs – Barry ManilowLooks Like We Made It – Barry ManilowLove Will Keep Us Together – The Captain and TenilleI Can See Clearly Now – Johnny NashDon’t Go Breaking My Heart – Elton John & Kiki DeeHere You Come Again – Dolly Parton(Last Night) I Didn’t Get To Sleep At All – The 5th Dimension9 to 5 – Dolly PartonOne Less Bell To Answer – The 5th DimensionUp Up And Away – The 5th DimensionAin’t No Woman (Like The Woman I’ve Got) – The SpinnersWe’re All Alone – Rita CollidgeMoonlight Feels Right – StarbuckDon’t Cry Out Loud – Melissa ManchesterTorn Between Two Lovers – Mary MacGregorBarbara Mandrell – Sleeping Single In A Double Bed

I’m working on the second mix now. One of the songs may be Billy Joey’s Uptown Girl. Which brings me to another Guilty Pleasure of mine – Westlife.
